***************
"DIED.
In Saguache, Colo., Tuesday, July 7, 1896, Feliciana, wife of James Fullerton, aged 44 years, 7 months and 2 days.
Mrs. Fullerton's maiden name was Trujillo. She was born in Ojo Caliente, New Mexico, and came to Costilla County, this state [Colorado], when she was 10 years of age. She was married to Mr. James Fullerton on Oct. 21, 1866, and two years later removed with her husband to this county [Saguache], and lived in this vicinity until her death. Besides her husband, seven children mourn her departure--Mary, Emily (Mrs. O'Brien, of Canon City), James, Humphrey, Sarah, Feliciana and Thomas. For a number of years Mrs. Fullerton had been an invalid and a great sufferer, and death came as sweet relief to the poor pain-wracked sufferer.
The funeral occurred yesterday afternoon from the house and a large number of friends followed the remains to their last resting place. A faithful and devoted wife, a loving, indulgent mother, may she rest in peace."
**************
